Weep Day Lyrics

Artist: They Might Be Giants
Album: Then-The Earlier Years

I never went to the tropical islandThough everybody said they saw me thereAnd it wasn't me you punched a hole inAt the West German protest march

Simultaneous events don't happenWe are isolated temporallyAnd a part is never called the whole thingThough it bothers us to know it's so

Every man is made of two opinionsEvery woman has a second halfAnd it's samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man (samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man)Yes, it's samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man (samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man)

I didn't write the words you hear me singing (didn't write the words you hear me singing)I didn't sing the line before this one (didn't sing the line before this one)You are not the one I was addressing (you are not the one I was addressing)That person took a train to Africa (Africa)

Where he met the consulate from BelgiumWho is now a Buddhist in a caveWho is pitching for the Oakland RaidersStriking out the batter she became

Every man is made of two opinionsEvery woman has a second halfAnd it's samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man (samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man)Yes, it's samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man (samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man)Yes, it's samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man (samba time for Tambo and Weep Day for Urine Man)Weep Day for Urine Man (Weep Day for Urine Man)Weep Day for Urine Man (Weep Day for Urine Man)Weep Day for Urine Man (Weep Day for Urine Man)Weep Day Weep DayWeep Day Weep DayWeep Day Weep DayWeep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep)Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep)Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep)Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep)Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep)Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep) Weep (Weep)

Comments/Interpretations

by bothered on 7/6/2010 8:20pmIs anyone else bothered by the line "who was pitching for the Oakland Raiders striking out the batter she became"? The Oakland Raiders are a football team and do not have any batters to strike out or any pitchers to pitch. I realize as with most TMBG songs that they can be plain silly, but this one bothers me for some reason.
